Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb mini yellow potatoes like these
  • 1 t olive oil or 10 sprays if using a sprayer like this one
  • T ranch seasoning divided
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt I use coarse salt, if using table salt, use less

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the potatoes (skin on) with a fruit and veggie wash. I love this one from Trader Joes. Rinse thoroughly in a colander and pat with paper towels to try. 
  • Use a sharp knife to cut potatoes in half lengthwise. This will ensure that the cook evenly.
  • ​In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 1 tsp olive oil or about 10 sprays of if using an olive oil sprayer. I use this one. Toss with1 T ranch seasoning, 1/2 t garlic powder, and 1/2 salt (i use coarse salt, if using table salt, use less) until evenly coated.
  • ​Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. If you don't have an air fryer setting, simply run for 5 minutes at that temp. 
  • Transfer the seasoned potatoes from your bowl to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes, then open the basket and give potatoes a good shake. Add another 1/2t of olive oil (or 5 sprays), and dust with remining 1/2T ranch seasoning. Close air fryer and cook for another 5 mins or until potatoes reach your desired crispiness. 
  • Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and serve hot. Sprinkle with fresh herbs (optional).

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F 5-7 minutes. This will help them crisp backup. For softer potatoes, you can reheat in microwave.
